TWU residents
Classes here, living there
Texas Women's
University and University of Houston
may seem to be a
strange combination
but, for some of us,
it's a normal way of
life. It became a way
of life last Fall when
the Housing office realized they simply did
not have enough
rooms available for
the large number of
incoming students,
and chose to contract
rooms from T.W.U.
Most who live at
T.W.U. feel that the
advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. The primary
disadvantage is that
students who wish to
be close to campus
cannot be. Ben
Sanchez said, "Since I
don't have a car, I rely
on METRO or the UH
shuttle bus; it is an inconvenience." Issac
Benzur says it is an
inconvenience for
him, but he just has to
allow for time to travel. The housing office
has generously supplied the T.W.U. residents with free METRO bus passes and
shuttles to UH.
When asked how he
felt about living in the
T.W.U. housing instead of at UH, James
Gatts said it made no
difference to him
since he had never
lived in a dorm before
so he had no comparison. When Sanchez
was told he wouldn't
get the choice to live
on campus he said,
"At first I felt cheated,
as if it was too easy for
them to get rid of me,
but now we are like a
family." Most students agree that living
in the Texas Women's
University dorm really is a benefit.
There is a different
atmosphere at T.W.U.
because most of the
students who live in
Texas Medical Center
are upperclassmen or
graduate students.
Sanchez feels the atmosphere is more mature and people respect one another.
Another problem
with living at T.W.U.
is students don't have
the same opportunity
to meet other UH stu-
dents. There are,
however, many fun
events planned for
the T.W.U. students
such as volleyball,
movie night and trips
which the UH students also enjoy. In
classes, they belong to
the University of
Houston, but in everyday life, they have become part of T.W.U. ►
